Health and ‘wellness’ can seem elusive, but the good news is you can use healthy habits can take your health to the next level. Media messages keep promoting the next ‘magic pill’, program or fad that supposedly will transform your health. Instead these quick fixes often leave us frustrated and with an empty wallet while finding our selves stuck, repeating old unhealthy habits. However, while bad habits have long-term consequences and can lead to disease, developing healthy habits can have long-term benefits such as improving our health and wellness so we can live better.
What you do daily matters
There are many reasons for wanting better health. Maybe your reason is fatigue, extra weight or a scary health scare. The leading causes of death worldwide are linked with the way a person or a group of people lives (1). Common lifestyle diseases are cardiovascular diseases such as atherosclerosis, hypertension and strokes as well as diabetes, obesity and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (linked with smoking). However, you can prevent many of these lifestyle disease and improve your health by addressing their root cause…your habits (2). Too much sitting, eating highly processed foods and not getting enough sleep are just some of the habits slowly killing us, one day at a time.
Transforming your health one habit at a time
Focusing on changing your health can be overwhelming, especially if you have tried before without success. Doing ‘ALL’ the things at once can be daunting. Thankfully there is a better way! We can embrace a goal of foundational wellness by building one healthy habit at a time. Foundational wellness is state of overall wellness and thriving, instead of just surviving, through the consistent implementation of health promoting habits for the purpose of improved health outcomes and long-term reduced disease risk. Because when we start with the end in mind by using healthy habits to take your health to the next level there is greater success. We can use healthy habits to slow and even reverse lifestyle disease. Form diet and exercise to sleep and stress management, we can target areas of health one at a time to accumulate healthy habits and better health.
